2024-10-29 19:42:56I avoided looking at him even though I knew he was watching me carefully. What is this? I’m kidnapped by this guy yet I’m feeling things for him. What is wrong with me?
Getting frustrated by myself, I scoffed.
“What?’ he asked.
I wanted to change the subject so I asked him about my phone, my voice snapping at him. “Is my phone still with you?”
“Ah yes, it’s still with me,” he rubbed his thumb against his nose before continuing, “Would you like to ask anything else?”
“Yes, Maya said that I’m your possession?” I made sure to emphasize on ‘possession.’
“And?” he seemed baffled.
I didn’t get a chance to continue as the door flew open and in came a squeaky voice, “Asher”
Asher.
A lean willowy girl cat walked her way to him and kissed him roughly against his lips. I blinked at the sigh

I couldn’t’ sleep the whole night. Homesickness, I guess. My thoughts were jammed from the memories of Mike and Jamie and Aunt Cindy. Getting the boys out of trouble was like a daily routine for me. Covering up for the mess they made and supporting them for everything they did whether it was right or wrong made me feel good.I was dearly missing father too. I couldn’t help but think how different things would have been if he was still alive. It felt like ages since I last went hunting. I missed the moments we shared in the forest.The thunder roared outside as my heart yearned to be hugged by my family. A tear rolled down my cheek as I peered outside the window. It looked peaceful despite the fiery winds. Silver trickles ran down the glass as the rain murmured through the window.The wolves howled. It was only natural for wolves to be loping around. Recalling the surrounding when they got me out of the car, I realized this mansion

We were on our way to meet with the Thunder Banes’ pack Alpha. What will I say to him? His youngest son was murdered by a vampire? Damn you Derek!“He’s going to say a lot of things,” Cole warned, “and he’s going to say them in front of his pack.”“Word about Derek’s proposal has travelled. People are talking about it Asher”My phone rang as I sulked looking outside the window. Sabine! I picked up. Before I could speak she said, “She’s gone.” The call ended.Asher was leaving today.

She was resting on my bed, completely passed out. No food for three days, no good sleep for three days and then this happens. At peace she was. I couldn’t help but smile at her.Why did you run away, stupid?Just like that, the smile cleared out and anger clouded in. Derek has been roaming around our territory. I can confirm that since our encounter yesterday. This explains the deaths of the deers’. Why is he still lurking around though? By the looks of it I can safely bet he was alone. He could be keeping a close watch.I couldn’t even make it to the Thunder Banes pack. Alpha Solomon would be enraged. And what excuse do I give him?My human mate whom I kidnapped to confirm if she really was mine, ran away?

“Do you believe me now?” His tone was deep and husky. My knees felt weak, I was sure to collapse but I restrained myself. “I’m-” I lost my voice. I forgot words. He stood before me, my neck stretching up. His bright eyes met with mine as I pressed myself with the window. It was hard to look away. They were the same eyes as that wolf I encountered in the forest. This is real. “Are you scared now?” I shook my head since I was sure that if try to speak I wouldn't be able to utter a single word. Knowing very well that I was terrified, I still lied. He started laughing and pulled away, his eyes turning back to their

Asher didn’t show up in the room the rest of the evening and even at night. Tantrums! Come to really think about it, I should start keeping my tone and mouth in place. He’s a strong guy. He can do whatever he wants to with me and as much as I hate to admit I won’t be able to do shit about it. For heaven’s sake girl, he is a wolf. A freaking wolf! I have to be honest here; my small mind is not accepting it. You know that feeling you get, when you know something’s’ happened, you see it but your mind is unable to grasp it. It’s unable to acknowledge the fact, unable to process it. That’s what is happening with me. I suddenly realise that oh shit I am kidnapped by a man-wolf,

A shaky breath came out after he banged the door shut. I could still feel the electric chills all over my body. His warm hands on my neck gave me butterflies. His hands were gentle. His thumb grazed my cheek with tenderness. For the first time I noticed the desire in his wistful eyes. It was almost like he had no control over what he was doing and the moment he realized, he pulled himself away. He’s running away, he’s avoiding it. Damn it Asher, if you could just tell me why I am really here. Tell me the truth because I am so desperate to know. Because if I’m right then, It’s not only you. It’s me too. I was stunned when I saw him. My white crescent mark was visible. I had to pull the towel higher before he could see it. T

So I’m his mate. I’m Asher’s life partner. His wife? He felt the connection? How can he just feel it? If only it was that simple. There are so many questions racing inside my head. Look on the bright side; you get to talk to your family. But what do I tell them since I’m not going back anytime soon? Asher said he had his conditions before he let me talk to them. What conditions is he talking about? Please don’t make things more complicated than they already are. Werewolves? They exist! There are more like them out there. Why isn’t anyone aware o

Asher left me after the call. I would be lying if I said I wasn’t mad at him for doing that. He should be considerate. He should have stayed with me. After all, I'm not doing this for me, I'm doing it for him. But then again he did give me an option, there was no forcing from his side. Someone please remind me why I’m doing it for him again? Regret was washing all over me. But no, I knew I had to be firm on my choice. I have to be adamant. Besides, staying here will give me a chance to discover a whole new world. A world of werewolves! I could very possibly be the first human to have discovered them. The thought was exciting. Deep within, I was hurting. The pain was excruciating. I brought that pain upon myself. If I had refused to Asher, right now I woul

So this was it. I was dying. This was my story!Before it could even start it ended. An ending caused by my foolishness and carelessness. An ending I brought upon myself which only added on to Asher’s misery.I couldn’t move, could not feel anything. I just felt cold, extremely cold. Derek pulled back.“That was the best I have ever had,”He pulled his hands back from me and I fell on this floor.All the time my eyes were on Asher. He broke free from them, or maybe they let him go.All I know was that he hugged me in his arms as he sat on the ground, picking me in his arms.“No, no, no” he cried, “Aurelia,” for the first time…and the last… I saw Asher Zane shed tears.It broke me.Even on the brink of death, seeing him cry because of me, complexly broke me.I love you Asher. I love you and I’m sorry I was unable to tell you this sooner. So many things left unsaid…I’m so sorry.His warm hand cupped my cheeks, “Stay with me Aurelia, stay with me,” he kissed my forehead.That brought me

Derek’s POV: Wearing my black shirt I left the room, shirt left unbuttoned as I walked through the empty hallways of the Palace. I had to meet the King. It was time we went forth with the plan. “What’s the hurry Derek?” King Luther slurred as he drank from the sixth human who lay topless on the table. The rest were lifelessly settled on the floor. King Luther wasn’t a fat grumpy King, no, he was smart and handsome even being six hundred years old. No spark was lost. That’s the beauty of a Vampire. Flawless beauty unlike those furry stinky animals! “It has to be done now,” “But you just paid them a visit,” he pointed out. “It’s almost a week now. They won’t be expecting a visit anytime soon which it makes it perfect. I’ll be extra discreet,” I smiled. He laughed and held a napkin in his hand. “Go, take whoever you need,” he wiped the blood that ran down his chin. I gave him a nod and left. I had to pay Lisa a visit first. Entering her room, I scanned it but she wasn’t there. An

Now with this new truth about me, a lot of questions were answered but I was still figuring out a way to tell Asher. How can I just drop the bomb on him? As absurd as it sounds it also seems impossible.There has to be a way in which I could prove it to him. Since he, or anyone for that matter, can’t see my mark, it only adds complication. It was understandable why Rufus was not in the favor of me just blubbering it all out to Asher.As much as I wanted to, I couldn’t. I could not go up to him and tell him that I was the last of the White Crescents, the royal pack which was wiped out thousands of years ago.Guess it would have to wait till I can train my body enough to bring out my wolf!It was mid-February so the land was covered in snow. As I breathed near the window mist formed on the glass. I traced out with my index finger, W, O, L, F.What would she be like? I know all White Crescents have white wolves with blue eyes. How big would she be? She has to be a ‘she’ right; I mean obv

Calming my rapid heartbeat, I prepared myself to have conversation with the purple eyed man. I had been thinking about conversing with him ever since our last interrupted chat in the bathroom yesterday. The reason why I was so edgy was unknown to me. He wasn’t an enemy, I was sure of that. In fact something was awfully familiar about him. He seemed like someone who would know answers about the white crescent mark I was on my chest. He said I wasn’t someone ordinary. What am I? Ah. It is exactly why I am being edgy. The horror of finding out who I am. Asher had gone out to patrol the borders. Everyone was busy after the recent attack. On guard! We had suffered a lot of casualties, many lives were lost and not just of our pack army, many people of the settlement also died, women and children. It was devastating to have witnessed them getting murdered in front of my very own eyes. I shook my thoughts and took a deep breath. As soon as I imagined those purple enigmatic eyes, I fel

Cold wind greeted my face as I ran in the white forest. It was freezing but I was only dressed in a white long frock, my hair hung loose over my shoulders. I wasn’t cold though, I was all warmed up. I knew that warmth. That emotion! Oh I knew it all too well. I was in heat. Turning around, my eyes searched the area hoping to find him but he was nowhere. With a rapid heartbeat I pressed my back against a tree and took slow breaths to relieve myself from my tortuous pain. I closed my eyes to think of something, anything that would get my mind off him. “Trying to hide from me?” his voice caught me off guard, my eyes sapped open. He was standing in front of me, amazement dancing no his face. “It’s funny how you think it would work, especially, when you’re aroused,” he whispered in my ear. “Don’t tease me Asher,” I whined, “You always do, it’s…it’s embarrassing,” He chuckled and apologized, “I just like to see you blush,” He started kissing me, his hands roaming over my body.

Derek’s POV: She lay beside me as her sleek arms wrapped around my naked chest. Both of us enveloped in our chain of thoughts lay still after hours of love making. “I don’t understand how father can even think that the Werewolf King will agree to marry me. Especially when he’s found his mate,” We have our ways and she knows it but it was pointless to answer so I stayed quiet. She did have a point. Hypothetically, even if he did agree, their marriage would be the definition of a failure. It was one story if they fell in love and married and blah blah but forcing them into marriage was plain out stupid. Does the King have something else in mind that he isn’t telling me? Is he plotting something behind my back? “He’ll be a prisoner here Lisa. He would be under your control completely. Use him…for whatever needs you have. I heard wolves are some hot creatures to have sex with,” I snuggled in her neck. She hummed and chuckled. “Heard or experienced?” she looked at me questioningly, “

Asher’s POV:Shutting the bedroom door, I stood outside for a minute to calm my crazy heartbeat. It’s funny how the mate bond can make you act. We were in the middle of a crisis, attacked by the Vampires, Aurelia was almost abducted by Derek, lots of my people were killed, brutally, we just got to know that Sabine has wolfsbane running in her blood, Jacob almost died. It’s a disaster!But I’m here. Standing outside my own room, battling my desires, my lust and my wolf so that I don’t take my mates honor when she’s in a drugged state.She is in her senses, Asher. Axel argued and I rolled my eyes.Stop being selfish Axel, she has been drugged. She may be in her senses but her body is reacting because of the substance that’s in her body. I’ll mate with her when she tells me, when she’s ready…and not given some sex drug. Pushing myself away I walked a

“Kill him!”“What? NO!” I tried to push past him but he grabbed my waist and pressed himself against me making me gasp. What the fuck? I almost moaned?!?!“Don’t worry, darling, while they dispose of him, I’ll give you the honor of feeling pure bliss,” he smiled.From behind him, I saw Jarvis making a run at him but before he could take even a leap, he was caught by three vampires, one landed on him gripping his neck into a fierce grip; one stood in front of him, hands on her hips as the third one bit his arm. Jarvis let out a howl, he was in pain. He was in so much pain and I didn’t realize I was shedding tears. “Please stop,” I begged Derek, I begged him like the weak pathetic and helpless human I am.“Shh,” he grabbed my face, cupping my cheeks and cooed as if I were a baby, “Don’t look at him, focus on me,”“Why are you doing this?” I mat

“Calm down Aurelia,” it said again. I shrieked, nearly tripping over the coffee table. Turning my head around, I stood frozen to the ground as I watched the purple eyes staring right back at me from the mirror. With a quick twist I looked behind me only to see nothing but when I saw back in the mirror they were still there. That tall lean man with a black hood hiding his face, nothing but the dark glow of his purple eyes was visible, a purplish black cloak wrapped around his body as he held onto a wooden stick, a purple gem placed at its head. A dark powerful aura surrounded him, something about him was sinister and that is why I always felt afraid when his eyes were on me. “What, what do you want from me?” my voice shook. “I want you to not be afraid,” he instructed and I took a big gulp. “Who are you?” I asked again. “I’m not here to hurt you Aurelia,” he assured. “How do you know me?” I asked hoping he might respond with a clear answer. A smile, a faint smile spread through h
